The “Albania Becomes” movement has held a dialogue with the Albanian community in Rome. In his speech, Adriatik Lapaj addressed Prime Minister Rama, saying that “you are a coward and you will face your people”.
Lapaj also focused on the statements of Prime Minister Rama, who from Luxembourg said that they cannot enable the vote of the diaspora because they do not have a database. But according to Lapaj, Albanians living abroad can vote quite simply, he even said that they have also submitted the draft law to the Parliament.
According to him, there is no need for a database, but simply through an online platform that the Central Election Commission can open.
“I say to the prime minister of the country: You are a coward, because you are afraid to face your people wherever they are, and you have not kept your word.”
You will have us in front of the squares, because you are not used to being in front of people who you cannot buy with a building permit, because we will take this road that we have started to the end.’
I heard the Prime Minister of the country with a lowered voice, I heard that he had gone to the place where the largest Albanian community in the world is in Luxembourg, and he said:
“We can’t vote for the Diaspora, because we don’t have a database. ‘
Does this have a database for passports and identity cards of Albanians? Has he been in power for 11 years, or have we?
No country in the world gives the diaspora the right to vote through a database. Here is Kosovo, they vote, and Kosovo does not have a database for immigrants. But how do they vote? We have brought the draft law ready, it is in the parliament. They vote as simply as I will tell you now.
With an online portal, it is opened by the CEC and the Civil Registry of the Republic of Albania. That portal is accessible from anywhere in the world, online directly. Any Albanian, it is enough to log in, enter the identity data, and express the desire to vote in the next elections, in any pair of elections. In this system, you have the opportunity to enter the address where you live, and after the system receives your address and data, the CEC has an obligation within 20 days, it has the legal obligation to send the postal envelope to your homes, that you, as citizens of a normal country, to vote as the Republic of Kosovo votes.
I say to the prime minister of the country: ‘You are a coward, because you are afraid to face your people wherever they are, and you have not kept your word. You will have us in front of the squares, because you are not used to being in front of people who cannot buy them with a construction permit, because we will take this road that we have started to the end.”, said Lapaj.
